Transportation has an important role in globalization and economic growth. Smart, sustainable and green city layout focuses on solving urban problems using technology. A busy, reliable and quality public transportation system can do a lot in making cities greener and better for the public. Environment-friendly innovative ideas can solve various problems sufficiently. The transportation system must be efficient, should support a thriving economy and provide the residents with healthy and mobile choices. This chapter highlights how extensively green transportation systems are adopted by various countries of the world to move towards a cleaner and safer ecology. Green and smart transportation is a priority due to the rising level of greenhouse gaseous emissions. Green and smart transport systems include several policies like usage of the city rules to develop complete, compact communities and streets that encourage active transportation and transit, transit cars, trucks and so on to be mostly electric, plug-in hybrid or sustainable bio-fuel powered.
